Shutter Island : If at first it didnt succeed.. Give it another try!

If at first it didnt succeed.. Give it another try!

The first time I watched this around release date i found it ok..ish, mediocre nothing to shout about.. but I recently watched it a second time, it was on normal TV and with nothing much else was on so I thought why not. I enjoyed it alot! It has definitely moved up in my books. So if you have only watched it once and think it is ok...ish give it a few months and try again!

Unanticipated, free pleasures are always more enjoyable than those bought and anticipated. TV could wreck the movie industry, or at least do it much damage, if it would only stop "editing for content" the movies they show.

I agree.. to and extent... I think the movie industry get way too greedy and flood the market with poor quality films.. remakes.. too many sequels etc.. take star wars for example.. I love them. And the new ones are amazing.. but I know Disney are going to over do it and destroy it till people are sick of them then 10 years time Start again.

How can one view this exceptionally transferred BD, with Scorsese at the helm, a vastly matured Dicaprio as the lead, a cast of extremely talented veterans, with an intelligent mystery and psychological thriller of a script, not like it upon the first viewing then being bowled over catching it on the Boob Tube? "Shutter Island" = "mediocre" is an oxymoron.
